Rock Crusher

The Rock Crusher is a Refinement Building. It turns Raw Minerals and Metal Ores into Sand and inefficiently produces Refined Metal.

Mechanics[]

The Rock Crusher consumes 240 W of Power. It requires Duplicant operation. It refines materials 100 kg at a time. 50 kg of material gets turned into Sand and 50 kg to the corresponding Refined Metal.

One operating cycle takes 40 seconds, reduced by the Duplicants Machinery attribute. If permanently fed with Raw Minerals and operated by an unskilled dupe, one Rock Crusher can feed 2.5 permanently operating Water Sieves with sand.

Because a single Steam Turbine can provide up to 480 W of Power, each maximally-active Turbine can power exactly two Rock Crushers.
